EU Open Day
On Saturday 4 May 2024, the EU institutions in Brussels opened their doors to the public. More than 1300 visitors came to the European Committee of the Regions premises
to learn more about the institution that represents regions and cities in the EU and what regional and local elected politicians do for them.
Interactive stands presented - the role and activities of the European Committee of the Regions and its political groups - as well as the CoR's 30th anniversary milestone. CoR members met the public and presented their point of view on different topics, answered questions and talked about their personal experience as politicians representing citizens in the EU.
Visitors experienced the diversity of cultures and traditions at the Festival of regions and cities where regions and cities showcased projects, skills and offered tastings of regional products. Magic acts, an atypical quiz on how much you know about the EU with prizes, a photobooth for your souvenir of the day, a colourful exhibition on the upcoming EU elections, bricolage for children and much more - completed the event.
